And Baby Makes Three

In the end it is the child that matters

Mommy Daddy and Paul

No words mean more

Than these simple three

They strike me to the core

Him, and you and me

They used to tell of all

That mattered in my life

Not big or fat or tall

Now cut me like a knife

Everywhere we went

Repeat them all the day

As if that they were sent

Upon a sunbeam ray

Shout out the love lost bond

Of our tiny family

Never needing to respond

This once eternity

The Window

Through the window

I watch you both on the wet grass

Legs tan and strong

taste of my addiction

our beautiful boy

tears dripping with the rain

a last glance

of the magic that was

filling the air

now already gone

as if the man in the window

never existed.

Perfect Harry Dances

With his glasses cap and gown

Prancing all around the town

Our perfect Harry dances

We made him you and I

The Ecstasy of our lives

Our perfect Harry dances

His grace comes from high above

A gift descended from the dove

Our perfect Harry Dances

We laugh at each remark

An angel in the dark

Our perfect Harry dances

His life a spinning top

No force on earth can stop

Our perfect Harry dances

Let our love combine once more

Prepare him for what’s in store

Our perfect Harry dances

Our Boy

So like a mirror he is

Like the fragile glass

That I once was

The promise lost

The wish unanswered

Shelter him Lord

From the broken mirror

Stave the bitter tear

Shield him from the memory

Of losing more

Than just of flesh and bone

One sided love affair

we create the dungeon for our own heart and then we blame the jailer

Truth

There is no exception for truth

There is no hope in a lie

The purity of truths pain

Empties the heart of darkness

As we live

So shall we end

Regrets or peace

Actions or words

Love demands truth

Truth commands love

Throw away the books

Toss aside the fear

In our hearts we are sanctified

Live only truth

Speak only truth

And rise above

The sheep at your feet

I will cross an ocean

Other men will howl at your moon

Claw at your sheets

And make you swoon

But I will cross an ocean for you

Other boys will fall at your feet

Lick your shoes

And turn up the heat

But I will cross an ocean for you

Other players will tell you lies

Stroke your needs

And drink you dry

But I will cross an ocean for you

This real love

Is not on the take

its burning for you upon a stake

And I will cross an ocean for you

The closet

The door opens

And the faint scent of you

is there to meet me

I see your face

Your hair

Your smile

The room shimmers as if you are there

More faint this time

I shut them in

And try to save

The last of you

My senses beg your return

But you are lost

I kneel at the crack

Alone on the floor

Catching in my tears

Only what I need

The Kiss not for me

More than before

Longer with intent

Like we once were

Almost close

It Lingered the day

While I thought of you

In his arms

A chance for me

Hope still beating

Now fading

I try to taste

your smile

But alas

it’s gone

Jealousy

Made not born

taking form

In the black recesses

Of the mind

Not of the divine

The spawn of the enemy

It traps the lover

In an unholy embrace

Waking first

Each morning

Returning uninvited

Encore of the damned

Ignoring all demands

For it’s departure

The devils stepchild

Sucking love from the air

Leaving only grief

Lies

Pornography

At my feet

Selfish desire

Images unfiltered

The unholy union

Of victim and torturer

Trapped

Inside each other

At His feet

Now I must learn to let you go

Expecting nothing in return

It’s all about if I can show

For your touch I no longer yearn

This is the love I want so dear

The one where I just give

No matter the end there is no fear

And nothing to forgive

I must pray my way and change my heart

The one that sometimes takes

So even when we are apart

I love for just your sake

What controls my selfish needs

Must feel the fires heat

Until its teeth no longer feed

I’ll place it upon His feet

Sure it’s Funny

when we no longer laugh we die

Legs like yours

I’ll never find a girl

With legs like yours

And I hope I never do

For they are perfect in my eyes

And the memory that is you

Really Jesus?

I signed up for this Jesus thing

And now I wonder why

While she can have her passion fling

I stay at home and cry

Even if I meet the girl

Who gives my heart a burst

I’ll be stuck up on this tilt-o-whirl

Turning off my thirst

Being good is such a pain

Why did He take my oath

Now my erection stands in vain

Not useful for us both

You talk to much

So much said

It’s like a curse

So much to be endured

It is silence that I crave

But you disburse

More talk of the absurd

Some women may like

A tongue on fire

Not me it burns me so

Can’t you stop to build the pyre

And let my senses go

I will miss of you

All the things that drove me mad

I will miss of you

The tea bags in the empty cup

The cookie papers looking up

I will miss of you

The unmade bed

The crusts of bread

I will miss of you

The purses flung across the floor

With shoes a scatter door to door

I will miss of you

All that once did drive me mad

For them all back I would be glad

I will miss of you

Not a savior

Truth is seduced by the winds of desire

IN MY FOOTSTEPS

I walked this path

So long ago

That now my lover treads

Where all that mattered

Was search for youth

And confirmation in more beds

The memory still stings

And the karma still burns

From this error of my past life

And now I watch most helplessly

As the lie consumes my wife

I want to save her from the pain

That comes from such a choice

For it is never worth the gain

What comes from such a voice

No Knights

You are no damsel in distress

As you strut and stomp in your sexy dress

No Fear of dark or end of days

Life preferred in a purple haze

A knight in armor a curse indeed

As he fends and fights the devils seed

Beneath the metal his eyes blood red

Full of eternities potential dread

He battles for you against your will

For you mean more than any thrill

No greater love has yet endured

A win that can never be secured

He prays beneath the weight of tin

For the you that hides within

He’d give up all to see a way

For you and heaven to meet one day

For you and heaven to meet one day

My dark desire

Lord strip away the dark desire

That places me in first

Replace it with your kind inspire

And take away this thirst

Now fill my heart with selfless love

The kind my soul longs for

Send it from the holy dove

So that her heart can not ignore

This pure request now observed

My lover will know the truth

It is her heart I wish to serve

And give it rest beneath my roof

A Love Lost

Love’s walk is beautiful until you drown

Poetry will never bring her back

No poem will change a woman’s heart

It’s impossible but true

For once they want to be apart

There is nothing you can do

But do not weep and do not cry

For there will come a time

When all the answers and reasons why

Will come drifting down the line

Then you’ll understand the hurt

The lesson you needed most

And all the help that came to you

From Father, Son and Holy Ghost

THE WALL

I created the bricks

You used

To build the wall

That separates our love

Oh that I could crush

The hands that made them

And eat the hurt

I caused you

Oh that I could raze

That which we created

Instead I face my lover

And see only bricks

Now I work

To change my sins

So God

Can take down

What stands between us

FIDELITY

Much is made

Of this promise

For the body and the senses

Long for experience

As we make the oath

Flesh cries out its anguish

And the mind conspires

The first betrayal

For the promise

Is not of mind

Or Flesh

It is from

Somewhere

Deeper

A place

Where God still dwells

A place

Where spirit reigns

And the world

retreats

We transcend the flesh

We control the senses

We dwell for a time

In a Holy place

Until the day

Flesh and Mind

Reclaim us

And God

Can be no more

Friday night, on a terrace in France.

For the waitress I have a crush on:

1.

Do not think that I am a threat

My heart and aim are true

I’m just not like a table set

I’m more like love renewed.

2.

I could never play it cool

My gift was never that

Instead I break most every rule

With a rabbit and a hat

3.

I think your eyes caught me first

So big and bright were they

They changed the mood and quenched my thirst

And begged my soul to stay

4.

You made me laugh

when I wanted to cry

Your gift was so just right

I’m sorry you have to wonder why

I refuse to leave tonight

5.

Trying to look calm to no avail

The space is to crazy for that

So I grab more bread from out of the pail

And hope you’ll swing by for a chat

6.

I love the way that you dress

So different from the sheep

It’s simple and chic but up to the test

And it makes my knees go weak

7.

I know how to frighten most anyone

It’s easy for me to be sure

I’m staring and silent and the only one

Who’s been watching you cover the floor:

1. For my X

I watched the women come and go

I could not help but compare

But no one could touch your special glow

And remove me from my despair

2.

In the shadow of the cathedral

The sinners gathered in force

I the worst among them

And feeling the heat of remorse

So I sit alone upon the stones

Lost in a quiet refrain

Wishing with every one of my bones

For an end to all of this pain

3.

I could go for a walk and check out the scene

But for me that’s quite old hat

I’d rather do something that’s not as obscene

And tell all these people take that
